About the Bean
PANAMA, FINCA IRMA (P. KLUYVERI & LACTOBACILLUS PLANTARUM)
From citrus to coffee, 88-year-old producer Gabriel de Dianous has grown it all. His experience led him to purchase Finca Irma (previously a cattle station) in 1980, knowing that the optimal climate, volcanic soil, and plentiful shade from banana and Ingas trees could combine to create the perfect conditions for growing geisha.
The handpicked cherries were then delivered to Lost Origin and inoculated with pichia kluyveri—commonly used in wine-making—and lactobacillus plantarum. The result is an elevated geisha sporting sweet elderflower aroma and prominent peachy flavours.
ABOUT LOST ORIGIN
Our Lost Origin limited releases proffer a return to the pursuit of excellent coffee. We’ve partnered with the Lost Origin coffee lab in Panama City to bring home a batch of beans quite like no other. Their team of methodology-minded brew techs take traditionally harvested beans and ferment them with special microorganisms (a process inspired by craft brewery practices) to create brand new coffees bursting with riveting flavour. It’s a breakthrough for the world of coffee processing, and your palate too.
